Governor Brownback’s live news conference on storm prep
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli held a news briefing tonight about the second winter storm expected to hit Kansas.
The blizzard like conditions will move through Kansas Monday through Tuesday afternoon. ”With the prediction of strong winds of 30 to 40 mph and gusting up to 50 to 60 mph, this storm has the potential to cause power outages and white out conditions,” said Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, adjutant general and director of Kansas Division of Emergency Management.
Officials are urging Kansans to prepare for the new storm by restocking home and vehicles with essential supplies.
“Take the preparations you need for yourself and your family to be safe if you are without power for a few days,” Tafanelli said
The state activated the emergency operations center Sunday afternoon
